Our Story

We believe whole fish is all our pets truly need.

While others add artificial flavors, Eastseabrother strips everything back. For pets, whose sense of smell is 20,000 times sharper than ours, the natural aroma of fresh whole fish is all they need to eat instinctively—just as in the wild.

Why I Started This – This Is My Story

Where I'm From

A small fishing village on Korea's East Sea

Growing up in a small fishing village by the East Sea, I was taught from an early age to build a different life for myself.

Study hard. Leave home. Chase a bigger future.

When Success Wasn't Enough

Chasing success in bigger cities

I grew up believing that success meant leaving behind the life my parents had built—fishing, drying fish, and making a living with their hands. Like many others, I believed my future lay somewhere bigger. Life became fast, stressful, and disconnected. Even meals became something to rush through rather than enjoy.

Coming Home

Calmer. More grounded.

And every time I returned home, I noticed the same thing. I felt calmer. More grounded. The foods I grew up with—fresh fish, simple meals, natural ingredients prepared with care—felt more honest than anything I had been chasing.

Over time, I started seeing my hometown differently. What I once thought was small or ordinary, I now saw as something worth preserving. There was wisdom in it. Care in it. A quiet kind of honesty. It reminded me that good food doesn't need to be complicated—just real.

A Memory That Stayed

They simply knew it was real food

I kept coming back to a childhood memory—the fish we dried in the winter sea breeze, and how the neighborhood cats and dogs would always gather around. They didn't care about packaging or labels. They simply knew it was real food. That memory has stayed with me ever since.

Back to Simplicity

We chose to return to something simpler

And it eventually changed the way I thought about feeding my own pet. The more I looked at the pet food industry, the more disconnected it felt from the kind of food I trusted myself. So I decided to go back to something simpler.

Whole ingredients—never ground or crushed
Minimal processing—to preserve nature's pure nutrition and form
Nothing unnecessary—no artificial additives, just the naturally rich aroma of whole fish

A New Beginning

From One Pet to Many Families

At first, I made dried seafood treats just for my own pet. But once I saw the difference—not only in how they responded to it, but in how I felt feeding it to them—I realized every pet deserved food made with the same care.

A Note from Our CEO

Animals know what real food is.

Our dog, Roni—named after pepperoni—struggled with food sensitivities from an early age. Mealtime was never simple. He dealt with meat allergies, digestive issues, nutritional imbalances, and joint problems.

The more we searched for better options, the more frustrated we became. Most pet food felt heavily processed, overly complicated, and difficult to trust—even the products labeled “premium.”

That question became the beginning of Eastsea Brother. We started making treats with whole, wild-caught seafood, gently dried to preserve its natural flavor and nutrition. Nothing artificial. Nothing unnecessary. Nothing hidden. Just real ingredients you can see and trust.
